Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Custom Necklaces Online

You know the feeling that you get when you style a piece of jewellery and want it to be exclusively yours. But the thing is, you’ve got that particular piece from a pop-up store, and believe us, you would see everyone wearing it. Yeah, we know that feeling.

Jewellery is known for being many things: a stylish accessory, an extension of your personality, a gift, maybe. But here is the thing: why don’t we call it sentimental? A custom necklace, for instance, becomes a more special way to communicate your feelings without actually saying a thing. 

That brings us to our topic for the day: we help you with this step-by-step guide that will help you create custom necklaces for yourself and a loved one!

Why Choose Custom Necklaces?

Custom necklaces are pieces that you have put your heart and soul into while designing them. The idea of it can come from a basic sketch, maybe a reference photo, or even an emotion that is captured in diamonds. It wouldn’t be anything like the mass-produced necklaces that you can buy from the jewellery store next door. 

But if you go with custom necklaces, you can have fingerprints engraved, or it could be an initial necklace that is written in a cursive font. These are the kind of details that can transform a simple piece into something that is meaningful while representing the love that you have for them.

The Process of Creating Custom Necklaces

The whole process of creating custom necklaces is very simple with Friendly Diamonds; all you have to do is follow these simple steps:  

Step 1

The first thing that you have to do is reach out to us and share the reference image that you have in mind for your custom necklace. Once you have shared the reference with us, our jewellery specialist will help you with the next steps.

Step 2

The next step is to discuss your design preference with our jewellery experts. They will help you guide and understand the nuances of the design that you selected for the custom necklace.

Step 3

Once we know, we have a clear idea about how you want your custom necklace to be, and we will create a 3D CAD model of it and send it to you via email so that you can review it. 

Step 4

This is the step that you have been waiting for; this is the step where you watch your custom necklace come to life.

FAQs

Can I engrave my custom necklace?

You cannot engrave a lab diamond custom necklace, because engraving a diamond is a very tricky process that can damage the diamond’s shine. 

Can I add 2 stones to a custom necklace?

Yes, you can; that way you can add a little bit of your style and a little bit of your partner's style to the necklace. 

How do I maintain the shine of my custom necklace?  

You need to clean your necklace at regular intervals to maintain its shine and store it safely in the box that it came in. Also, we suggest that you avoid spraying perfume while you have your jewellery on, as it can affect the sparkle of the diamond.
